I remember the first time I saw Federer. Wimbledon fourth round in 2001. I was a huge Sampras fan and this kid just comes out and hits impossibly gorgeous shot after gorgeous shot and takes down Sampras when I didn't think anyone could beat Sampras at WImbledon. I actually called my Dad and told him to watch the highlights. I think I said, "I think I just saw the new best tennis player in the world. This kid is unbelievable." He was even better than I thought.
Forrest Marques wow how rude... Well what can you expect from someone who has watch till the point is over to get to the point where everyone else gets after a couple of strokes 😏 LOL
Being a South African I was a Federer fan from age 18. He lost his first 7 matches against leyton Hewitt and it drove me crazy. Then never lost to him again. Its difficult to believe that Hewitt, now retired is only 6 months older than Rog. You can appreciate Nadal and Djokovic all you like-and they are great, but there is that little something extra only Rog has.
@@razarraz8276 new stars will come along. When I was young, I would have said it will never be the same after McEnroe, Connors, Borg and Becker are gone.

@@razarraz8276 so we just have to wait a little longer. There may be a couple of young players right now, that we never heard of, who are going to entertain us for years to come. Anyway, I am seriously enjoying all the classic matches that the Tennis Channel has been so good to show us during the shut down. I agree with you that we live in an epic era of tennis. Maybe no one will ever top Federer/Nadal at Wimbledon in 2008. But maybe they will.
Before the ponytail and man bun became cool Roger was already into it. He was a firebrand back then throwing rackets and come on's. I fell in love with Roger's game at first sight. The way he plays, having every shot in the tennis playbook just made me go wow. So many years later and he is still WOW.
I remember when Federer first started playing the majors and there was a buzz amongst the other players about this new guy. They would try and see him play his matches when they were free. He definitely didn't disappoint the world of tennis and tennis fans. He was pivotal in starting one of the greatest eras of tennis. Legend.
People aren't realizing the very young Roger was playing with an old school racket. He's been dominating in so many era's and have been on the top for so many years. He's going to be 39 in a couple of months and he is still one of the best players right now. Absolutely insane, GOAT.
Young Federer didn’t play with a wooden racket. My dad is 6 years old than Federer and he started playing at age 8. 6 years before Federer and when my dad was nine they had the rackets we have.
Warrior Son that is not true. It is just that at 14 he moved to a boarding school/tennis academy and stayed there but he started tennis much earlier than 14
One of the great movers in the game, always appeared to be playing within himself........effortless with that great anticipation...........very rarely see him wrong footed.
Maaan just imagine being someone who has seen Roger playing in Basel since his first appearance, like just seeing how much he’s grown not just tennis wise but in his personal life!!!
The best tennis player in the world in my opinion. He inspired lots of people, tennis players around the world. I like to watch this particular video when I'm getting back in memoirs about tennis.
A couple of observations. 1) How strange to see Federer playing in front of empty stands, and on outer courts in some cases. 2) He's got some of the best hands in the history of the game, along w/ McEnroe. A lot of these great shots, even the "lucky" stabs, work because he has the hands to control the racquet face at the moment of impact. Practice hones that, but there's a level of natural athletic ability which most of us just don't possess, even other top players.
@maccajoeprops to his mother for giving birth in 1981 Lol. Federer dominated 2004-2007. THAT'S IT. That's all the years he's dominated in tennis. It doens't matter if he played Chang, Rafter or Sampras once in Wimbledon the year prior his retirment. That doesn't make him greater Lol. Rafa was beating Agassi at age 19 to win Canada, or beating him at Wimbledon. Or beating Safin, etc.
@@rafagoat575 Fed IS greater but not for this "adapted to new times" or "different era / shifts" bullshit lol. As you said as if Federer played with a wooden racket or if 3 years would be different times

It’s the most surreal feeling in the world to watch this right after an AO 2017 tribute. It’s like, “this man has defined greatness. Now look where he started from.”
Of all the tennis players I've seen over the last 40 years I have to say Roger is the best. He's the whole package...power, speed, mental toughness, consistency, etc. He's hit shots I've never seen anyone else hit before. Nadal, Djokovic, Borg, Laver...all incredible players and definitely some of the greats, but none of them are the whole package like Federer. What he has accomplished along with Nadal and Djokovic is really incredible, they've dominated the game and will probably continue into 2021.
Two of the most accurate... predictions in tennis... "il grande talento" and "that's why this guy is going to be good for the game" ! How many times have we all exclaimed?! 'more of this, please!', 'wunderschön!', ' extraordinaire' , 'che magia', 'masterful', 'oh là là' and 'Ay Yai Yai' ???!!! PeRFect answer even back then... "yes, but I don't look at the money though...you live off of it... but in the moment, the points and the victory are more important to me!!!
To think that at one time he used to play in front of hardly any spectators. He is one of the few players in the history of any sport who can fill stadia. Awesome player.
So cool to see him like this. He still moves and plays like he's young, but as far as his personna, by the time he was 25 he was more like an old-school gentleman investment banker than a young pro athlete.
That's what got him the big branded contracts! Making him the highest paid athlete in the world! Fed has great style and taste not your typical tennis jock!
Don't ever compare Federer to an investment banker. They are the biggest crooks on the planet and have no morality or conscience whilst Federer is a great role model and symbolises hard work and talent.
I mean you can argue for many players to be the GOAT. But its probably undeniable who is the most entertaining player of all time. When Federer is in the building he is the crowds favorite no matter who stands in front of him. For me he will always be the greatest because he touched me emotionally.
When I see his old stuff I don’t see how good he was, I see how much he improved in his career. He clubbed the ball in comparison to later in his career, 2017 he became a true god of tennis, playing with beauty and a caliber that at times was completely unplayable by any man.
Oh, yes--definitely recognize some of these awesome shots. Sorry I missed his early career. Love seeing Baby Rog. The blonde phase was a scream, and his looong mane lovely. He's the perfect tennis player, and a true gentleman, and will always be my GOAT!
Tennis is also a mental game. He was smart enough to realise his talent early and get the right people around him so he only had to concentrate on tennis. The full package, and always looks so cool.
He still had a lot to learn. Lleyton Hewitt could handle him quite well when Federer was young. Federer learned to stay back and be patient against Hewitt and turned their rivalry around.
He has consistently remained in top 10 from last decade with Ronaldo and Messi. These 3 are in every list of highest paid, loved, great, influential and popular athletes.
@@MarcoMMMachiavelli : you might be right but you probably know a lot about tennis, as i have from time-to-time, as well. the thing is, if a person only watches finals, like many, they might only be familiar with a few players! the more i watch tennis on youtube, myself, the more i am introduced to some very talented players. it's kind of cool like that. a couple leave me scratching my head about why they didn't rise into the upper echelons. i think the mental side plays such a big role and having a feel for the game.
@@trents3515 Well Haas was one of the ones who did make it (partly)... The guy had more comebacks then anyone I can think of (I mean after injuries)... He almost managed that amazing feat of reaching no.1 without winning a single GS... I think he also has a silver medal at the Olympics... And that's a big deal (contrary to what Djoko fans will tell you)... But unfortunately he goes down in the books next to Marat Safin, or more recently Delpo... The "what if" category... But in all honesty, Tommy's matches in GS's when he passed 30 years were jaw dropping... I remember the 2013 RG, after the Isner match, and the Youzhny demolition ,I honestly thought he had it in him to beat Nole... Fun times...

Nah, Djokovic has dominated the toughest tennis era. He has a serious chances to be the undisputed GOAT. *17* GS, *32* Masters1000, *5* ATP Final World Tour and *275* weeks #1 *@only 32 years old* 💪.
